The Butcher Shop Boston

Don’t fill up on the bread, butter, and honey the folks here will give you as you mull over the menu and daily specials. You’ll need to save room for the leg of lamb, ricotta gnudi, and fried green tomatoes.

Alta Strada Boston

Authentic enough to give any contemporary Milanese trattoria a run for its euro:  white bean salads, house-made ricotta, an edited wine list, a take-out market, and a come-as-you-are vibe.

The Butcher Shop Boston

A wine bar-cum-butcher shop that offers French- and Italian-inspired plates like homemade pâté, fancy hot dogs, and hearty risottos. Don’t miss the fantabulous takeout — like duck confit with bing cherries and poulet en pain.
